Message Title: Growing Up
Message Text: 1 Peter 1:22 - 2:3
Notes:
- The litmus test of Christianity: Do you have a new love for people?
- The only eternal things you can touch in this life are people and the Word of God.
- Malice: the intention or desire to cause harm or ill will toward another person.
- Deceit: the action or practice of deceiving someone by concealing or misrepresenting the truth.
- Hypocrisy: pretending to be what you are not; pretending to believe what you really don’t.
- Envy: resentful awareness of an advantage someone else has AND the desire to possess that same advantage.
- Slander: making false statements that make people have a bad impression of someone else.
- When your identity is rooted in Christ- you are freed to truly love other people.
Spiritual Growth:
- Is rooted in craving God’s word
- Doesn’t just happen over time
- Isn’t measured by how much you know
- Is the result of daily decisions
- Is measured more by actions than beliefs
